at the moment I have the porter cable benchtop planner its the pc305tp,,i believe I need new rollers on it but I cant find them,,its really been a good planner,,i purchased it at lowes about 4 yrs ago,,i noticed they are not selling it anymore,,they have the craftsman which I have been told is the same as the porter cable,,,,i was wandering about others opinions on this planner,,,or would it be better to step up to a more expensive one,,my concern is being able to find parts for it,,,,any input would really be appreciated,,,

I would buy something and keep looking for parts.
I bought a spare Delta 12.5 inch years ago and still using the old one.
I thought there was a consumer law about having parts available for 7 years. Tools not included?

get a new one,,,,DW734 or DW735 are good choices,,,,,commas,,,

I have a DW-734 and it is a great machine.

I have the Cutech benchtop planer. It has been good and trouble free. They have since changed their name to Wahuda, but it looks the same.

I ran a DW734 for years. Sold it to a pro shop because they liked the one they had better than their floor machines and wanted a second one to keep up with the workflow. It seems odd that rollers would wear out in only 4 years. Is the machine stored where it gets temperature extremes? Regardless, if the Craftsman is the same machine re-badged, parts should be available there. HOWEVER!!! Never let it be said that we were unwilling to talk someone into a new tool. ;-)

Porter Cable? I thought those were Delta. If they're discontinued that must have happened recently so there should be replacement parts readily available.
